WWE Left "SCRAMBLING" As Major Raw Segment Goes Wrong (WWE News)
Chaos backstage after WWE Raw's opening segment...
With this week's WWE Raw opening with CM Punk, Logan Paul, and the Vision, that segment was said to have gone long and left WWE officials "scrambling" throughout the rest of the show.
Speaking on the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, noted that the show-opening segment ran ten minutes longer than scheduled, which in turn meant WWE "was left scrambling" to adjust on the fly.
That Raw opening segment had new World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk come out to thank AJ Lee, his fans, and Jey Uso, promising to be a fighting champion and namedropping AJ Styles, Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, Sheamus, and John Cena as people he'd like to tangle with. The Second City Saint was then interrupted by Logan Paul, with the Maverick declaring himself as deserving of a shot at Punk and the World Heavyweight Title. That, in turn, was interrupted by the Vision, as Paul Heyman said how Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker are next in line. The segment culminated with the Vision attacking CM Punk, then leaving Paul lying after Bronson hit him with his patented Tsunami Splash.
However, despite Bryan Alvarez's claim of "scrambling", WWE producer Shane Helms has taken to X to poke fun at the supposed chaos backstage at Raw.
OMG! We were soooo scrambled! It was unreal! Yelling, screaming, monkeys swinging off of chandeliers, the humanity!!!!!!!! https://t.co/da30R6poiQ— Hurricane Helms (@ShaneHelmsCom) November 4, 2025
By the time all was said done with Raw, the main event saw CM Punk and Jey Uso take on Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker in a match that ended in a double countout. However, the aftermath of that bout saw Logan Paul hit Punk with brass knuckles, before handing those knucks to Paul Heyman, with Paul seemingly alligning himself with the Vision.
